Now that President Lovell has said we're (maybe) building an on campus arena, what will we call it?

I vote the O'Neill Orena
Prolly just negotiating leverage with the Bucks right?

At this rate, probably sooner than the new Bucks arena.
Bit of a tangent. So report if you must. I was at a hotel bar in Dallas watching the MU BE tournament game vs DePaul. When I asked to turn the game on the guy sitting next to me said, oh did you go there? He was from California and said his son was committed to join the class in 2019. What strikes me is how quickly the program has gone from nothing, to being able to grab ranked recruits from across the country.
Good things can happen if there's the right level of commitment to doing things right and the right people in place.
"Thanks Crean Stadium" is my pick.
That was due to the success of MU Lax.
I am amazed at how great the LaCrosse team has become between the time and amount of support that was put into it.

I've got an "I4 hundo" for calling it ND Sucks Arena.
Thought Benny had naming rights to any arena on campus.
This might be a really dumb question but is it feasible to have a new on-campus arena that could be used for lacrosse, soccer, and basketball?

Lacrosse and soccer use a roughly 110 m field (FIFA has a pretty big allowable variation in size.) Width is 60 meters in lacrosse and 50-90 meters in soccer.
In comparison, a basketball court is 94 ft x 50 ft or 28.7m x 15.2m.
it would take a lot of retractable seating to make a 12k capacity basketball arena compatible with soccer and lacrosse.
might have to go with an elevated playing surface for soccer and lacrosse, the fans in the permanent seats would be so far above the action.
in reality, keeping soccer and lacrosse at valley fields with the Benny Dome is probably a better idea.

Is it really, I never knew that. It's a massive domed stadium (obviously not in the realm of what we need, we don't have football). But obviously the concept of that would definitely work.
I believe that was one of the points being made in the above article... The playability of the fields in those times of year. Playing lacrosse on frozen ground has to suck about as much as it does in football.
I don't know the first thing about the needs for lacrosse but will be interesting to see how this all plays out, it sounds like lacrosse will be strongly emphasized for MU into the future, even if/when they eventually lose this coach. The bit about "six figure expenditure" was interesting.
